Never Move Offices Again: All The Ways An Office Mezzanine Can Save You Time and Money.

Whether you’re looking to rent a new office space, renovate your current setup, or build an extension for your existing work area, you’re in for weeks—if not months—of exhaustive work. Renovating and relocating both require tons of time, effort, and resources. They may oftentimes be counterproductive (especially when they interfere with daily operations).

What if we said there was another option? 

Maybe finding a new place isn’t the right answer. And maybe building an extension isn’t it, either. 

If you want something quick, practical, and efficient, trust us on this: an office mezzanine is a game-changer.

 

What Is An Office Mezzanine?

 

Architecturally speaking, a mezzanine is defined as a low story “between two others in a building.” In buildings with high ceilings or a lot of space between floors, mezzanines are built to utilise the rooms vertical space. They create additional floor space without having to expand beyond the existing physical confines of the building.

Because of this, mezzanines are considered one of the most economical ways to maximise office space. They’re also one of the more practical and cost-effective solutions to the problem of expansion. 

Here’s a breakdown of the benefits:

 

Customisable Flexibility


Because office mezzanines are not integrated into the building’s base infrastructure, you can quickly deconstruct them and move them wherever they’re needed. The initial mezzanine installation only takes a few days. Reinstallation will take about the same time. And expanding a mezzanine happens to be just as easy. 

 

Should the need arise, all you need to do is contact the company that did the original installation and make the necessary adjustments.

 

Cost-Effective


Because they’re so easy to install, mezzanine floors are incredibly affordable. They cost way less than a standard room expansion—more so a full office relocation. 

No moving fees, no lengthy downtime, and no spike in rent.

And because a mezzanine essentially doubles your space, adding one to your commercial property can significantly affect its market value.


So the math is pretty simple: your business + a mezzanine = more space x more value.

 


Efficient & Practical


In most cases, office mezzanine installation can be done in just a few days. It can also be done with minimal disruptions to daily operations. 

Very rarely will you need planning permission for it, which is why many business owners find a mezzanine infinitely more hassle-free than regular expansions and renovations. 

Truly, a mezzanine is one of the best solutions for a growing business. 

Visually, it adds dimension and depth to an otherwise vast and empty-looking office space. Architecturally, it converts vertical space into usable space without affecting the base structural integrity of a building. 

And from a business point-of-view, it’s a sound investment. 

Having a mezzanine installed as nowhere near as exhausting, expensive, or inefficient as relocation can be. 

It requires minimal planning and preparation to pull off. Costs are low, downtime is non-existent, and the results are almost instantaneous (because what’s a few days compared to a few weeks, really?). 

 

Just remember a couple of key do’s and don’ts before you go out and get one installed.

 

  • Do have a specialised team come in and help you for the entirety of the project; from the site measurement to total installation


  • Do find a company that handles the entire process. Subcontracting or outsourcing to third-parties can get confusing, resulting in misunderstandings and potential failures to deliver


  • Don’t be afraid to ask questions throughout the entire process. A mezzanine can add value to your workspace, but only if it’s truly in-line with what your business needs.
